well check out the pics. i have been holding on to this male
afghan mafia from g13 labs so i can make more seeds by pollinating the female afghan mafia . when i looked at it today i saw white hairs .
the thing im getting at is that this plant was all male till this morning.
or was it ? i thought all male plants stay male and the female plants will go either way . help would be greatly appreciated .

My camera is out of batt power, shit. Any way, I have several plants that are budding out big time, with balls at the nodes. These seeds comes from heat stressed Hermies, and 80% is females, that appear to be male at the nodes. So, be confused, and let'em go. If you see little pollen sacks at the tops, then kill them. Until then let them go.

see that's what i dont know. im hoping so. but if i do will that mean that I'm pollinating with a Hermie? if i do will it work ? or will i get some really messed up beans ? or do i have something know one has seen before and i just need to start over. if that's the case i only have one more go at it do to only having 2 beans left .

I wasn't going to get into it, but Green said something... OK, here's the deal. Paid high dollar, $100 to $200 bucks for 10 seeds. My heat stressed Hermies put out their own seeds, 10 to 50 per flowering plant... yes, flowering. Either I pick the mature seeds out, or they drop into the container, and they come up. I've got 30 or so coming up, plus I've stored over 150 seeds. These seeds are showing 80% females, with male node traits. If they are 100% male, the pollen sacks shows at the tip of the plants. In the future, I will intentionally stress out a few plants to get my own female seeds. These pics I am going to upload has/had a few seeds on them. Straight from Mamma to ground, 4 days, I've got babies.... Each seed is worth $10 to $4,000, depending upon the the outlook.

if it keeps budding it will pollinate itself and you don't have to worry about pollinating your sensimilla

supposedly the seeds you get from a self pollinated plant are somewhat feminized, either that or it will be herimie, but you dont want to pollinate fully female plants with hermie pollen cuz thats just bad genetics

I am experiencing that with my grow. I have a Masterkush plant that was showing some pollen sacks. Next thing you know, white hairs were bursting through them!! Very weird. This whole plant is weird. I started flower 3 weeks ago at 6 inches. The plant is now 30 inches tall!!

well it could vary well be heat stress a wile back i was having problem's with hot whether it stopped about 2 weeks ago. i now have temps staying at 75*f-77*f and know lower at night then 58*f when it was hot i would get temps in the high 80's
could that be what is going on . i also have a female bag seed plant going and it is flowering like a pro along with three clones here are some pics of my set up just so you all can see what i have going on .
